Id make better people use it

“content recommendation is only for stupid people” is a brand new form of gatekeeping that i haven’t heard before!

Mastodon is a good reminder of why algorithmic feeds exist

The option for a chronological feed is nice, but without an algorithm filling in the gaps it’s really hard to get started on there

It’s always good to step back from “companies” and think of companies as just a bunch of people.

Is it good for companies to force employees back to the office? Nah, probably not. Is it good for the guy who has to explain why he signed a 10-year lease on all that office space, and now it’s sitting empty? Yup. Is it good for the lonely manager who wants to be surrounded by people, and has the power to make that happen? Yup. Is it good for the exec who has to find some reason why his department is underperforming, and decides remote work is a good scapegoat? Ehhh….

Lemmy.world is over €100

from just the memory numbers last time i saw server graphs, it’s gotta be at least an order of magnitude more than that.

what’s the lemmy patreon? i tried searching and didn’t find anything?

that’d be a convenient way for me to kick in a few bucks a month, but i’d want to make sure the money’s going somewhere worthwhile.

you’re right, the average person doesn’t care about their privacy.

and not only do they not care about their privacy, they resent being called stupid for not caring about their privacy. “you’re an idiot” seems to be most privacy advocates go-to argument as to why we should all care more about privacy, and it’s really not making a very good case.

we shouldn’t do anything.

Isn’t the whole promise of the fediverse that whatever the policies of one instance are, that doesn’t necessarily affect all the other instances, and each can do their own thing. If an instance doesn’t want to accept traffic from threads, good for them. But to try to organize a fediverse-wide response to threads seems a whole lot like the centralization the fediverse is supposed to not be.
